Bugged Down

I caught the bug last Friday so I was unable to attend my classes.

It felt so nice, staying at home, I mean. I think I really missed a lot of my old lazy days. Its just so beautiful to laze around and do nothing once in a while, right. I missed doing all that.

Staying at home, watching movies again and again, listening to music… I think I am going to buy an MP3 (daad MP5) player so I could just drown out the ugly buzz of daily life.

Anyway, I don’t exactly feel much better now since the rest I had was only a one day thing. I had my Saturday graduate school classes, so it meant I had to cut short my convalescence. Yeah, I had to wake up at 3 Am and I prepared for the Sat thing since we had an assignment in our Structure of English class.

Whew.

Anyway, by Sunday, I was in a mad dash to encode a backlog of paperworks I had not attended to when I skipped school and I also had to encode a bunch of lecture notes for my Friday literature classes.

On Sunday, I refined my lesson plans interspersed with the reading of two pulp novels and the re-scanning of Jane Asuten’s Northanger Abbey. I also had to reflect since I was not feeling as chirpy as I was supposed to.

I could not even summon the desire to attend the mass so I skipped it as well. I slept at around 9:49 Pm and I woke up at 4:14 AM. I had to rush on writing my visual aids since I was not able to finish it up the other night, thanks to Samson and his son and his troops in The Wild (really nice day, really nice day da dan da da).

Anyway, I was able to arrive in school this morning at about 6:43 and I immediately turned on my radio for a daily dose of DYBS’ Shepherd’s Voice (Good Times with Mo? Can’t, my Christian needs come first eh.)

Then, before I knew it, I had to attend the flag raising ceremony and make sure that my advisory Class’ assignment is taken cared off before the first period bell rang.

Then, the rest is everyday life for a teacher like me. An English 2 class from 7:30 to 8:30, another English 2 class from 8:30 to 9:30, break from 9:30 to 9:40, vacant period (for checking, recording and/or resting ) at 9:40 to 10:40, an English 3 class at 10:40 to 11:40, lunch break at 11:40 to 12:40, another vacant (which I usually spend sleeping and/or listening to DYBS’ Day by Day and World News and Classical Guitar Hour) at 12:40 to 1:40, an English 3 class at 1:40 to 2:40 and an English 2 class at 2:40 to 3:40.

After that, I can go home if I dared to, or I have to wait for five PM for my thrice monthly meetings with the Debate Society (of which I am one of the advisers). We usually have one Council Meeting, and 2 regular meetings.

Then, sometime after six, I would go back to the office, type in a page of my novel or two, and go home. Or, I would go to my favorite internet café and download some songs, or just browse the net for whatever information, or I would go to my favorite barbecue-han and buy two pieces of baboy (yum,yum). Or maybe, I’d just go home and wala lang.
